I have a temperpedic and really enjoy it. I had read about heat issues, but never had a problem with it. Can't comment on sleep number.
It did take about a week to get adjusted to it. The first few nights were a bit weird at first.

I have both and I like 'em both. We live in 2 different places 6 months a year.

First we bought the tempurpedic and I fell in love with it right away. Very good support and wanted to get another one for our other place.

The old lady found a sleep number bed that was like new but had been used as a guest bed and bought it. I was not pleased at all. Thought I would hate it.I have to admit that I now like it just as well as the Tempurpedic now.

A decent mattress pad will help a lot. Bear in mind there are many different brands of memory foam besides Tempur-Pedic which are cheaper and may have a better overall warranty. If you have the Healthy Back Store near you, go take a look. Big fan of memory foam beds, and especially the pillows. I hate using a regular pillow now. I usually take mine when I travel.

Get a real tempurpedic with the newer air cushions. Sleeping on a tempurpedic ended all my back pain that used to be a normal outcome of sleeping on spring mattresses for me. Our new one breathes a lot better than the original models.

Uh, yes it will. We started off with no mattress pad. When we put one on it was significantly cooler. That being said, it's still slightly warmer than a regular mattress. But the mattress definitely helped.

a COMFORPEDIC gives you more specialty foam and also is proven to sleep over 2 degrees cooler than a normal foam bed like Tempur

Sleep Number beds are rumored to be terrible. It's like a waterbed (where do you get those these days), if your power goes out, you're screwed. the number changes overnight.

If you are in Chicago or close, I can get you a deal on whatever you decide.

I own both the Sleep Number and Comforpedic.

I like them both, but edge goes to the Comforpedic. 1) Sleeps way cooler than memory foam (e.g. Tempur).2) Supported edges on the better ones let you sit on the edge of the bed to put your shoes on, etc.

That being said, THE SLEEP NUMBER DOES NOT DEFLATE IF YOU UNPLUG IT OR LOSE POWER. Not at all.

I started to pass out from being drunk on my hardwood floors in all sorts of awkward positions, and I found whatever I naturally slumped into what not only most comfortable for a restful sleep but I never wake up anymore with back pains or any other physical issue.

I recommend a 12 pack and passing out on the hardwood floor of your choice, there is a slight bonus to having cats or dogs who may wake you up early with any you can identify with easily due to the primitive nature the alcohol has reduced you to.

Go sleep on them both. Alot of places have a good return policy on the tempur beds. Choose the one you like best. My opinion is its alright to drop a lot of money on a bed because you spend so much time there anyway...

Temp for the win, have more than one and am very satisfied. It is warm sort of but I like to be warm and it relaxes my back. A cover should reduce this and the name brand one is a winner. Why? Because.

It sounds like the sleep number bed is not really what I'm looking for. I'm just about sold on the Tempurpedic, but I'm also intrigued by this Comforpedic, which I hadn't even heard of before. Are there any other quality brands I should check out?
